In a matter of weeks, the Ottawa Senators will be under new ownership and a local First Nations community with a title claim on LeBreton Flats could be part of it.
On Wednesday, Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg confirmed in a statement that it is in talks with one of the bidders in what it says is a meaningful investment in the Ottawa Senators."While we must respect the non-disclosure rules inherent to the bidding process, we can confirm that we are in discussions with one of the bidders about making a meaningful investment in the Ottawa Senators, in consultation with all members of Kitigan Zibi," a statement from Kitigan Zibi says.
"Since lifting the abeyance on the title claim litigation our nation is pursuing against the Crown, we have been encouraged by both investor and media interest in the equity role we could play in the purchase of the Ottawa Senators, and the redevelopment of LeBreton Flats, including a sports and entertainment facility that could host our community's beloved hockey franchise."
The Arizona Coyotes pitched a $2.1 billion development proposal, which included a new arena, to voters in Tempe, Ariz., but it was recently rejected. Could Ottawa see a similar fate? Economics expert Moshe Lander with Concordia University says it’s unlikely. But here in the capital, with a stronger fanbase, the idea of having the NHL team downtown is a draw for many. With this new development, Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg says it is open to working with whichever bidder wins ownership.
